Earlier this month we announced that January 12th-18th received congressional recognition as Health Coach Week, and wow, we were amazed by the response! The week was a virtual celebration of joy, pride, and excitement as the IIN community rallied together to further health coaching. We’re not just a school – we’re a movement!

Last year, Joshua Rosenthal created a wonderful new course designed to help Integrative Nutrition graduates write and publish their first books. With the expert instruction of Health Coach and best-selling author Lindsey Smith, the first two rounds of Launch Your Dream Book Course were a smashing success!

Over 200 graduates published their first books, and some were even number-one bestsellers on Amazon! We are inspired by these individuals who worked so hard to make their dreams a reality.

We’ll be sharing these books over the coming weeks to celebrate the authors and encourage other budding writers. You, too, can become a published author! First up: all the children’s and family books:

“There’s a need for Health Coaches along every block in every neighborhood and city. Let’s get to work!”

Why aren’t more doctors prescribing broccoli, gym memberships, and guided meditation? Preventable illnesses such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease are reaching epidemic proportions, yet the current healthcare system depends on medications and surgery to manage symptoms rather than proactively prevent disease.

It’s partially because most physicians don’t have the time, resources, or training to help patients change their habits and lifestyle. Only 25% of medical schools require students to take a dedicated nutrition class, and doctors spend less than 3% of sick visits discussing nutrition.
